Intro:

Verse 1:
              C       G    C
Just another homeless family
          G7      C     Dm7 G  C
Hoping for a stranger's charity
C            C       F         G        Em7
Just one night in one safe place to stay
Am               Dm7    G    C
Underneath a star so far away

Verse 2:
    F                 C        G        C
She carried everything they had and more
             G7         C       Dm  G   C
The little One the world was waiting for
    Em7                  F          G       Em7
And somewhere in the night her child was born
Am             Dm7       G        F    C
Into every heart so tired and torn

Chorus:
     C       F
And the light shining from that star
      C          G       C
Will show you who you are
     C       F
And His light shining with its might
      C                                 G
Will lead you through your darkest night

Verse 3:
     F                   C       G         C
They couldn't find a room for Him back then
           Dm7      C        Dm7   G     C
But he found a place in the hearts of men
    Em7                    F          G       Em7
The hope that all the world would come to know
Am7                  Dm7      G    C
Born beneath that star so long ago

And His light shining with its might
      C                                 G
Will lead you through your darkest night

Just one night in one safe place to stay

Underneath a star so far away
